data-role="scroll-to-object-data">More details</a> </p> <p> In 1663 the plague raged throughout Amsterdam, killing one in ten citizens. Dating from around this time is Metsu’s poignant portrayal of a sick child, rendered in powerful, bright colours against a grey background. The scene is reminiscent of a pieta, a representation of the Virgin Mary holding her son’s dead body in her lap. The painting of the Crucifixion on the back wall also recalls Christ’s suffering. </p> </article> <form data-role="tag-form" class="block-stack block-stack-inner"> <input
